I ACCIDENTALLY OPENED MY CTO'S PERSONAL NOTION WORKSPACE AND NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY HE SHIPS 5X FASTER THAN THE REST OF US.
He is 48. I am 26. He manages 3 products and never works past 5 PM.
I work 10 hours a day and barely clear my Jira board.
In his workspace, one specific document explained everything:
Most people panic when the workload scales. They work longer hours, burn out, and eventually drop the ball. High performers do not manage time. They manage boundaries.
The document was a list of strict operating rules. Here are 18 systems you can steal.

Now I'm alive to tell the story
How I've overcome
It's His goodness and mercy
And the power of His blood
I'm so glad that my freedom
Wasn't based on what I've done
The goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood
So much power in the blood

The more that I look in the details, the more of Your goodness I find 🎶🎶

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call

Today I'm having a feedback meeting. 💔😌
I just got rejected for a global design role after 3 interview stages.
My second interview was with a Head of Design with 25 years of experience. I learned a lot and was shocked to even make it past that stage.
Then I got invited to the case study phase with 2 Lead Designers.
I was shocked again that I made it through. I made it past a giant with 25 yes exp.
I prepared 10-page slides for each stage.
I presented my case study.
They were friendly, honest, and taught me what it really means to think like a senior.
Today I’m meeting the recruiter to understand why I didn’t make it to the final step.
I won’t lie, I’m heartbroken.
This role would’ve had me working with teams from Germany, South Africa, the UK, Ireland, and Austria… with my own UX researcher, PM, and manager.
I was expectant.
I was ready.
But I’m still grateful.
I know I’m close to my “yes.”
Close to the right global team.
Close to the culture and opportunity I want.
Maybe not this year.
Maybe next year.
But it’s coming.

Permit me to take this a bit far.
Many Nigerians are full of anyhowness.
It is in how someone builds a house and stops halfway, no plaster, no paint, no finishing touch, yet proudly moves in. Little efforts matter, but we ignore them.
It is in how your generator starter rope cuts, and instead of fixing it properly, you just wind the rope around by hand every day like it is normal. We get too comfortable with inconvenience.
It is in how the government builds one side of the road and abandons the other to completely deteriorate. By the time they return to fix the neglected side, the first one is already damaged again. It is a never-ending cycle of poor maintenance.
It is in how people throw dirt out of their car windows, then complain about blocked drainages when it floods.
It is in how someone installs a door but never fixes the handle properly. Or paints a wall but skips the corners because “it is not that serious.”
This anyhowness shows in our work, our mindset, and even our leadership. We rush to start things but rarely finish them well. We do not value details, yet we want excellence.
If we want a better country, we must start by changing that spirit of “it is okay like that.” Progress begins when we decide that doing it well is just as important as getting it done.

I’m tired of this question really. I won’t be answering it again. Buy and see for yourself

Clean my hands, purify my heart
I wanna burn for you, only for You
Take my life as a sacrifice
I wanna burn for you, only for You
#ThankYouJesus
English

Take all of my praise and adoration
If that's all I'd ever bring to you
Nothing else will matter but this satisfaction
Knowing I lived it all for you
#ThankYouJesus
